Description

Paper Mill Lodge at Hewell Grange is a lodge built in 1876 to designs in a Tudor Revival style by the architect William Penstone. The original building was roughly T-plan, with a freestanding outbuilding to the west. A later 20th-century extension now joins these two structures. The lodge is constructed of red sandstone to the ground floor, with timber framing above and a tile roof. The former drive to Hewell Grange ran past the lodge on its east side.

The exterior is characterised by the stone ground floor and decorative timber framing to the upper floor. The original main entrance door is on the east side, sheltered by a projecting porch. The door is timber with ironwork, and the porch features stone rows supporting a timber upper structure with carved and moulded sections framing the portal and a gable with ornate bargeboards. To the left of the door is a small viewing hole, allowing occupants to see the gates. Next to this is a four-light oriel window, supported by carved timber corbels and featuring decorative leaded glazing. Above this, a larger oriel projects at first floor level, with two pairs of two-light windows, also with decorative leadwork. Below the windows are carved Tudor roses, with ornate carved timber sections between them and between the windows. The gable above the oriel has a central "W" with a coronet and three Tudor roses.

To the north, a large gabled projection features an eight-light window at ground floor level and a three-light window in the gable above (a modern replacement). The date "1876" is inscribed at the apex of this gable. The gable framing is mostly close-studded and braced with some curved elements. A small square window is to the right of the projection; a single-storey 20th-century extension, of lesser interest, projects to the west.

To the south, there is a further gable largely matching that to the north, although the ground floor window is an oriel. The 20th-century extension projects to the west and obscures the corner of the original building. Two large brick chimneys are on the roof.

The interior appears largely modernised and retains few historic features, with two mid-20th-century fire surrounds on the ground floor.
